The Reds reassigned Gilbert to minor-league camp Monday, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
Gilbert joined the Reds for spring training as a non-roster invitee after inking a minor-league deal with the organization over the winter. He could serve as a swingman for Triple-A Louisville after making seven starts among his 30 appearances for Triple-A Reno in the Arizona organization in 2023.

Reds' Tyler Gilbert: Inks NRI deal with Reds
Rotowire
Gilbert signed a minor-league contract with the Reds on Wednesday that includes an invitation to spring training, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
Gilbert, 30, pitched 17.1 relief innings with the Diamondbacks in 2023, posting a 5.19 ERA but a 19:5 K:BB. The left-hander is capable of starting or relieving and it's not clear which role the Reds have planned for him. In either case, he's likely headed to Triple-A Louisville for the start of the 2024 season.

Tyler Gilbert: Chooses free agency
Rotowire
Gilbert was outrighted to Triple-A Reno on Monday and elected free agency, Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com reports.
Gilbert failed to see much action in Arizona during the 2023 campaign, accruing a 5.19 ERA and 1.50 WHIP with 19 punchouts across 17.1 innings. He'll test his luck elsewhere after refusing a minor-league assignment.

Diamondbacks' Tyler Gilbert: Optioned to Triple-A
Rotowire
Gilbert was optioned to Triple-A Reno on Saturday.
Gilbert will head to Reno after he spent over a month with the major-league roster, producing a 5.19 ERA and 1.50 WHIP with 19 strikeouts over 17.1 innings in 11 appearances since July 8. Nabil Crismatt had his contract selected from Triple-A and will replace him in the major-league bullpen ahead of Game 2 of Saturday's doubleheader with San Diego.

Diamondbacks' Tyler Gilbert: Back from paternity leave
Rotowire
The Diamondbacks reinstated Gilbert from the paternity list Wednesday.
Gilbert made one three-inning appearance with the D-backs before leaving to spend time with his growing family. He allowed one run across three innings while striking out two batters, and he could possibly be a candidate for the fifth spot in Arizona's rotation to begin the second half. Carlos Vargas was optioned to Triple-A Reno in a corresponding move.

Diamondbacks' Tyler Gilbert: Goes on paternity leave
Rotowire
The Diamondbacks placed Gilbert on the paternity list Sunday.
Just one day after getting called up Triple-A Reno and tossing three innings of one-run ball out of the bullpen in a 3-2 win over the Pirates, Gilbert will leave the team in anticipation of the birth of his child. Gilbert should be ready to rejoin the Diamondbacks coming out of the All-Star break, but it's unclear if Arizona plans to keep him on hand as a bullpen option or potential No. 5 starter.

Diamondbacks' Tyler Gilbert: Selected from Reno
Rotowire
The Diamondbacks selected Gilbert from Triple-A Reno on Saturday.
Gilbert holds an unimpressive 5.67 ERA and 1.39 WHIP through 54 innings in the minors this season, but he will be called upon to bolster the D-backs' pitching staff. It's unclear whether Gilbert will be used out of the bullpen -- as he has been most of this season in Reno -- or join Arizona's rotation, but it would be wise to curb expectations for the 29-year-old lefty either way. Kyle Lewis was optioned to Triple-A to clear a spot on the active roster, and Drey Jameson (elbow) was transferred to the 60-day IL to open a 40-man spot.

Diamondbacks' Tyler Gilbert: Reassigned to minor-league camp
Rotowire
Gilbert (elbow) was reassigned Tuesday to the minor-league side of Diamondbacks camp.
Gilbert had surrendered 10 earned runs through only 5.1 innings of work this spring in Cactus League play. It should be noted that the 29-year-old southpaw finished the 2022 season on the 60-day injured list with a left elbow sprain.

Diamondbacks' Tyler Gilbert: Appears healthy for spring
Rotowire
Gilbert (elbow) tossed two innings and gave up two runs on five hits while striking out one in his Cactus League debut Feb. 28 in the Diamondbacks' 4-1 loss to the White Sox.
Gilbert closed the 2022 season on the 60-day injured list due to a left elbow sprain, but his return to game action early in the Diamondbacks' Cactus League slate offers encouragement that he's now moved past the health concern. Arizona removed Gilbert from its 40-man roster in December, so he could have a tough time getting another look in the majors unless he dazzles at Triple-A Reno. He struggled mightily over his 44 innings in the Pacific Coast League in 2022, logging a 7.57 ERA and 1.80 WHIP.

Diamondbacks' Tyler Gilbert: Outrighted to Triple-A
Rotowire
Gilbert cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A Reno on Thursday.
Gilbert will remain in the organization after passing through waivers unclaimed. The left-hander posted a 5.24 ERA in 34.1 innings in 2022 before an elbow injury ended his season.

Diamondbacks' Tyler Gilbert: Designated for assignment
Rotowire
The Diamondbacks designated Gilbert (elbow) for assignment Thursday.
It's unclear whether Gilbert has made a full recovery from a left elbow strain that ended his 2022 season in early August. Having posted a 5.24 ERA in 34.1 innings before the injury, Gilbert appears unlikely to draw much interest on waivers. Then again, his 2021 no-hitter demonstrated his potential when healthy.

Diamondbacks' Tyler Gilbert: Shifts to 60-day IL
Rotowire
Gilbert (elbow) was transferred to the 60-day injured list Wednesday.
Gilbert landed on the injured list last week due to a left elbow sprain, and he'll be unavailable until at least late September after being transferred to the 60-day IL. It's not yet clear whether the Diamondbacks expect him to return prior to the end of the regular season, but it wouldn't be surprising to see him held out for the remainder of the year since Arizona isn't in playoff contention. Tommy Henry's contract was selected Wednesday, and the promising prospect will take Gilbert's place in the rotation.

Diamondbacks' Tyler Gilbert: Goes four innings in no-decision
Rotowire
Gilbert didn't factor into the decision during Tuesday's 7-3 victory over San Francisco, allowing two runs on four hits and one walk with two strikeouts in four innings.
Making his fourth start of July, Gilbert kept San Francisco quiet aside from a Wilmer Flores two-run home run in the third inning. Despite a reasonable 71 pitches through four frames, manager Torey Lovullo opted to turn to the bullpen with the top of the Giants' lineup due to bat a third time in the fifth inning. The 28-year-old has pitched well this month to the tune of a 2.95 ERA across 18.1 innings while surrendering no more than three runs in any start. However, the lefty remains winless. He carries a 5.24 ERA and 1.25 WHIP into his next start, tentatively scheduled for next week against Cleveland.

Diamondbacks' Tyler Gilbert: Permits three runs Saturday
Rotowire
Gilbert allowed three runs on five hits and a walk with one strikeout in five-plus innings in a no-decision versus the Padres on Saturday.
Gilbert allowed only one run through five innings, but he put two runners aboard in the sixth. Luke Voit then took reliever Noe Ramirez deep for a three-run home run, denying Gilbert a chance at his first win of the season. Despite the late fade, this was a decent performance for the southpaw. He ends the first half of 2022 with a 5.34 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 18:9 K:BB in 30.1 innings, and he'll look to improve upon his 0-3 record after the All-Star break.
Gilbert didn't factor into the decision during Sunday's 3-2 loss to Colorado, allowing three hits and one walk with one strikeout in 5.2 scoreless innings.
After working out of a two-on, one-out jam in the first inning, Gilbert cruised the rest of the way and was in line for his first win until the Arizona bullpen surrendered three runs in the seventh. The 28-year-old has allowed one run in 9.2 innings since rejoining the rotation July 5, though he's struck out only three batters in the span. With the successful performances, Gilbert has lowered his ERA from 7.88 to 5.33 while his WHIP sits at 1.26. He lines up for one more start against San Diego next weekend before the All-Star break.

Diamondbacks' Tyler Gilbert: Solid in short start
Rotowire
Gilbert allowed a run on four hits and a walk with two strikeouts in 3.2 innings in a no-decision versus the Giants on Tuesday.
The lone run against Gilbert was a sacrifice fly by Joc Pederson in the fourth inning. While he didn't pitch deep into Tuesday's game, throwing 34 strikes among 56 pitches, Gilbert put in a solid effort for a spot starter. He has a 6.86 ERA, 1.42 WHIP and 16:7 K:BB across 19.2 innings overall at the big-league level in 2022. If he remains in the rotation, he's lined up for a home start versus the Rockies this weekend.

Diamondbacks' Tyler Gilbert: Called up for Tuesday's start
Rotowire
Gilbert was recalled from Triple-A Reno to start Tuesday versus the Giants.
The Diamondbacks are in need of an extra starter with Zach Davies (shoulder) on the injured list, and Gilbert will receive the call to start Tuesday. The left-hander has struggled through four big-league outings this year with a 7.88 ERA across 16 innings, but a strong showing against San Francisco could earn him another turn through the rotation.

Diamondbacks' Tyler Gilbert: Getting spot start
Rotowire
The Diamondbacks will call Gilbert up from Triple-A Reno to start Tuesday's game against the Giants, Theo Mackie of The Arizona Republic reports.
Gilbert was hit hard in his last outing with the big-league club, surrendering seven runs (six earned) on five hits and two walks while fanning two over 1.2 frames against the Reds on June 7. It's worth noting that he's given up three runs or fewer in his last four minor-league starts since that nightmarish performance with Arizona, but the Giants will be a tough test for the 28-year-old southpaw.

Diamondbacks' Tyler Gilbert: Rocked for six earned runs
Rotowire
Gilbert (0-3) took the loss Tuesday against the Reds after surrendering seven runs (six earned) on five hits with two strikeouts and two walks over 1.2 innings.
The 28-year-old threw only 31 of his 55 pitches for strikes, and homers from Joey Votto and Brandon Drury accounted for five of the runs against him. The left-hander was promoted from Triple-A Reno for Tuesday's start with Humberto Castellanos (elbow) on the injured list, but Gilbert's performance certainly didn't help his case for a rotation spot. He gave up two runs in his first two outings of the season but has allowed six earned runs in his past two starts.

Diamondbacks' Tyler Gilbert: Confirmed to start Tuesday
Rotowire
The Diamondbacks will recall Gilbert from Triple-A Reno to start Tuesday's game against the Reds in Cincinnati, Jody Jackson of Bally Sports Arizona reports.
With Humberto Castellanos (elbow) moving to the 15-day injured list last week, Gilbert will be summoned from the minors to fill the opening in the rotation. Even though Castellanos is likely to miss at least two turns through the rotation, Gilbert may not serve as his replacement beyond Tuesday. Arizona signed veteran Dallas Keuchel to a minor-league deal Monday, and he could be called upon to fill in for Castellanos the next time his turn comes up this weekend in Philadelphia. Gilbert has turned in a 5.02 ERA and 1.12 WHIP in 14.1 innings with Arizona this season, but his ratios have been much more unsightly over his seven starts at Reno (10.65 ERA, 2.11 WHIP).
